DIE TANZSTUNDE - Komödie von Mark St. Germain

In the organizer's words:

THE DANCE HOUR

Comedy by Mark St. Germain

with Monika Bujinski and Michael Kamp

Ever Montgomery has to learn to dance for an awards ceremony. Not really too difficult a task if he didn't detest physical contact. Ever is autistic, in conversations he usually takes everything literally, he has to painstakingly decipher the facial expressions of those around him and he has organized his everyday life according to strict rules. This orderly life is now being thrown into disarray, as he has chosen his neighbor Senga Quinn as his dance teacher - a recommendation from the janitor. However, Senga has her own problems: After an accident, it is questionable whether her broken leg will ever heal enough for her to work as a dancer again. The atmosphere is therefore rather tense when Ever asks his neighbor for lessons, especially as he has no empathy for her bleak career prospects and Senga initially misinterprets the absurdly high fee as an immoral offer. Over the course of a few weeks, the dissimilar dance partners grow closer - perhaps even closer than is good for either of them.

Mark St. Germain has written a touching and funny play about a mismatched couple who struggle to keep the same beat, but learn much more important things about each other and themselves in the course of their dance lessons.
